Here are a few samples of Chasing and Repousse I have done. I hope you find them intriguing enough to want to come to the July meeting in Virginia
Process:
Image #1, The deer was chased and repoussed in sterling silver sheet; working in the flat, and then bent round to a bracelet.
Image #2, The Rams Head Drinking vessel started out as a flat sheet of sterling and was hand raised to cup form. Then the ram's features were hammered out using a snaring iron and chasing tools.
Image #3, The shell shape is chased and repoussed in the flat and then embellished with electroformed copper stripes and surface set with white sapphires.

Cindy, these are really amazing pieces. I wish very much I could attend the next meeting as I am particularly interested in chasing and repousse (remember the Burmese piece I brought to the first meeting?), but I will be hosting a Costa Rica reunion that evening. Good luck with everything, and I still hope to go sketching with you sometime. Mary
beautiful work! i hope to be able to make this meeting!
